The Quantum Workshop

We had an amazing night at the Royal Society Summer Exhibiton’s “lates” night, deftly fielding the eternal questions “what’s the application, then?”.

It was also TQW’s first chance to represent the Physics department at King’s College London.

Quantum James is part of London Light, an interdisciplinary network studying the applications of light. The Quantum Workshop was present and correct at their launch event, which also celebrated the International Day of Light!

Although the venue was somewhat like a nightmarishly large school from the 60s, TQW thoroughly enjoyed being at European Researcher’s Night in Vienna. Many deep chats, and many deep thanks to Ugur and Lana for their assistance.

TQW took a flight! We went on an aeroplane to Lisbon, to deliver a workshop to quantum scientists on optical levitation and doing science outreach, at a training school on Quantum Technologies for Space. It was fun! TQW didn’t get travel sick.

Quantum James has written an article about when quantum machines will take over the world!

Read it in Physics World, January 2016.

 

Quantum James writes an article for the Guardian, about doing quantum physics with living things:

A living thing in two places at once? This quantum quandary test is limited

James will be talking at the Institute of Physics in Bristol on the 10th March. TQW is of course coming with.

Had a whole heap of fun talking with the Royal College of Art’s Space Program about the visualization of Quantum Physics. OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU NEED IS A COOL GREEN LASER IN A BOX.

The Quantum Workshop will be appearing at the Institute of Physics Festival of Physics on Saturday 22nd November. We will be giving a talk and appearing as an exhibition. Come say hi!

James has just started his second year of giving public quantum physics lectures at the Royal Institution. Head over to the media page to see the videos!
